I wonder if, during firearms training, police are show the pictures of those 'want to be' officers that had "unfortunate accidents" while pulling that stunt.
well, Johnnie Walker is shit whisky anyway. had a friend who swore by the "blue bottle" until I gave him a glass of Macellan. that is when he realized that "Johnne" is shit. one friend of mine called it paint remover. hell, it even smells like it.
back in the 1970's did a bit of cross training with the brits. spent 5 really bad weeks up in Scotland. cold, wet and just not anything to write home about. the only plus side to the whole time there was Sat. afternoons. the RSM would pile us on/in a bus and take us to different towns/ spot where they made scotch. there are 2 main types I learned. one is the good stuff made with love and care for. then there is the other "stuff" made by the millions of gallons and stored in a old warehouse for 6 or more years to protect the name of scotch whisky. all of Johnnie is in the later group. I learned to drink Good scotch. not the crap they sell by the millions of gallons to people who do not know better. good scotch is a drink you have neat. maybe a spring water back. johnnie is something you mix to hide the smell/taste
My best 'mate' Dick was born and raised in Glasgow and came to Canada in 1970. I asked him about Johnnie Walker and he said "we sell that to the sassenach bastards, and keep the good stuff for ourselves, they haven't tumbled to it yet". He was also not impressed with Glen Fiddich stating it was over-hyped and over priced. His father drank The Famous Grouse which is priced low enough for a shipyard worker to afford. For the last 10 years of Dick's life we sampled the better whisky's that we could now afford. Ardbeg is very peaty, most anything from Islay has an iodine finish, Isle of Arran is smooth (especially the Amarone cask), Isle of Jura Superstition is wonderful as is Macallan 12 double cask, which is my favourite. If you are in Scotland drink your whisky neat or the locals will hate you. Adding anything to your whisky is sacrilege and "Ice is only acceptable in the desert". Al_in_Ottawa

Dipshit cops messing around like this and accidentally discharging firearms, sometimes into their own feet, is a thing.

Johnie Walker is NOT shit whisky. It's decent whisky. At least it looks like he saved the bottle of Black that was on the bottom.
DeleteI used to drink Old Smuggler. I know bad whisky.

I quit drinking 20 years ago next month, and I can still remember the charcoal taste JW Black left in my mouth like it was yesterday.
